Reviews
In this highly accessible and honest introduction to one of the great architects of the 20th Century, Carter Wiseman presents Louis Kahn's works (and the baffling complexity of his private life) with critical clarity, empathy and humor. It presents the rich context of Kahn's career based on new research, interviews with contemporaries and a deep understanding of the conditions of architectural production., This is a wonderful introduction to the mighty yet humane architecture of Louis Kahn. The memorable buildings are brought to life with an eloquent appreciation of both their physical forms and the important ideas that they embody., Wiseman's succinct new biography tells you almost all you need to know about Kahn's professional life.
